Serving Those Who Serve Us

I have wanted to serve those who otherwise wouldn’t have a Thanksgiving Day feast for quite a while. I always imagined doing this at a soup kitchen in the city (Chicago), but last year we heard of a wonderful opportunity to do something similar very close to our home. So we signed up to serve. The turnout was huge - almost 200 Navy servicemen and a few homeless as well. It was our privilege to serve these young (very young) men who have committed to serving and protecting us. I tried my best to make sure everyone at my table had what they wanted. It was a pleasure to wait on them. They were very polite and respectful.

I am a stay at home mom who is too antsy to stay put when the kids are at school. At this time I am studying for a Masters in Social Work. My crafts have taken a back burner, but life is still full of good things.
